Brilliant album, Ken! Just what we need in the middle of this dark winter. I can't wait for spring even though it is still such a long way off! Thanks for the reminder that summer will come back and for sharing these wonderful images. Big hug! Mandy

Hi Ken, do not know how I have managed to miss giving a comment on this one. as usual a great collection of photos, you have some of my favorite's there like the clematis & dahlias. good work, makes us think summer must be on the way. Eric

Dear Ken, What a beautiful album! I watched the slideshow and outside it is a dreay, depressing winter's day so it was nice to get lost in all this beauty and colour for awhile! A great collection of beautiful flowers, no wonder these are all favourites, a lot of them are mine as well. Have a wonderful weekend my friend! Hugs Leslie

Hi Ken, I see that summer arrived early to England, even before our spring... Thanks for sharing some more of your beautiful photos of flowers. Thanks also for visiting my Anemones and Daffodils album. Best wishes, Yair.

Hi Ken: the 16 brandnew additions bring wonderful complements of what will be waiting for us in nature. Always good to remember in cold days and with poor vegetation that so exquisite nature wonders will await us! - Home from Geneva, we found also your kind comments in our "Christmas wishes..." - thank you! On our hand, we wish you and your family a very good year in all respects. Take care - keep up with your surprises!- Yours cordially: Kaethi and Henri

Hi Ken,easy to see why these are your favourite flowers and you captured them so beautifully,wonderful vibrant colours that cheer me up on this dull dismal Autumn day,I keep meaning to shoot more floral shots but will probably have to wait till next year now,thanks for sharing them with us and for your kind comment in my GB.,Regards,Rod.

chrisrod100 2005.10.12 at 06:49:46 PDT
Hi Ken & Carolynn too ... Thank you for your answer to my sizing question - your plan makes sense in lots of ways. I am happy you enjoyed my 'Down Through the Years' album and yes, 46 years of marriage is a long time - we have been blessed! It has been boquets of 'roses' but as you know, roses have their thorns! (grin) ... I love this album of yours; there are too many to choose just one favo[u]rite, but I am partial to the lone Fuscia and the Runner Bean flower. ... Happy Sunday ... Judy / FL

ladybug591 2005.10.02 at 05:41:57 PDT
Hi Ken, Absolutely beautiful album! Some of the best flowers I have seen on Webshots! Probably some of the best I have seen anywhere. Congratulations - They're not all in your garden, are they? Thanks for your kind words yesterday on my Zion album and greetings from Florida, Paul.
said
paul_fernandez 2005.09.10 at 10:35:06 PDT
Oh Ken I sure am a true flowre lover at heart.Your yellow begonias are "to die for" & that Cape Daisy is really pretty too.Over here we call them African Daisy's for some reason?? The entire album is so beautiful. Be Good. Hugs...Kathryn

Hi Ken, thank you for your lovely comments on my canal album, it is one of my favourite places for a walk and your flowers here are very nice, I especially like the broad bean and runner bean flowers, I also like the vegetables as well, yummmmmmmy, take care Ann

annsimages 2005.09.01 at 02:52:12 PDT
Hi Ken. I think I haven't looked at this album before. Lots of beauties to choose from and I have picked lots of favorites. They are #s 4,10,13,20,22,27,39,48,an d 49. I should have just said the lot. Catch you later mate. Cheers Al..

acehigh999 2005.08.31 at 23:42:44 PDT
This is the umpteenth time I have signed this GB and each time has been for some great additions. This time is no exception and it set me to thinking how many flowers grow well in both our countries, Cosmos, Dahlias, Impatiens, Begonias to name but a few. I'm not having much success in my experiments with Macro but will keep trying. Stick in there mate - you never know things might start to get better some day. MIGHT being the operative word!! Cya later Peter

Hi Ken, Lots of beautiful flowers! Tulips are some of my favorite flowers. I like their simple elegant shape and your yellow tulip is certainly one of my favorites in this collection. I also like the Japanese Cherry Blossoms. This variety seems to have far more pink that those in Washington, D.C. and a whole tree in bloom must be an incredible sight to behold. Greetings from Florida, Paul. P.S. Thank you for your recent kind words on my Utah album.Hi Ken, Lots of beautiful flowers! Tulips are some of my favorite flowers.

Dear Ken, I admired your flowers. #5 is a very good shot!!! I love the tulip of #10, the celebration roses of #22, the African violets of #33 and the Cherry blossoms of #42. As for your problems and frustrations with the latest mish-mash on Webshots, just take everything in a big stride and don't bother, 'cause we cannot change anything!!!!Greetings from Gabriela

shukun20 2005.08.05 at 06:52:48 PDT
Dear Ken, as informed by Laura, I've also read about your problems and fustrations about Webshots in Laura's GB ..... as one of the older members of WS (over 2 years), and I presume you won't feel bored, I'm happy to tell my experience to you. We are seeing WS is turning from one of the best websites to one of the worst and unfriendly websites. I believe this is because they don't want or they can't spare more money to improve their service. I had quitted for a period of time. I returned simply because of one word ... FRIENDS! Some of my other WS best friends had quitted for a long time. Your unhappy experience, my previous best friends and I had all experienced long time ago ... without notices, all these keeps happening ... completely disappeared albums and photos, no updating between My Photo page and Homepage, unreasonable and unacceptable re-arranging our albums, can't upload photos to our albums using WS software (no matter which version), dead slow in browsing photos ... We had even spreaded out and forwarded complaining and protesting messages and emails to lots and lots of WS members, and even directly sending to all available WS emails. At the end of the day, their single and simple reply ... WS won't change their policy. They're truly blind and deaf! If you can't accept all these, either you quit, or like me, and some other older members, keep staying together simply because of our best and close friends. We try our own way to tackle, just like I start clearly indicating my own date of newly updated album in my own way. Dear new friend, on and on, I'm happy to talk to you more and more, and this is one of the reasons why I try my best to keep my friends happy with my little CRAZY fun! Thank you very much for enjoying my little fun! Take Good Care! Best Regards from CS!

Hello Ken, First your flowers are beautiful and also great photos as well. I will give you a suggestion to your question from your entry in my album but not sure what exactly you are asking me about. First off sorry about all your WS problems. Did you install the new upgrade download found on the WS home page? Maybe this will help? I have noticed if you just edit one word in your captions now that your album is pulled from whatever it is in on the community page. Then that edit shows up for all your FAVORITE members to see on daily new photos. I find mistakes in my writing all the time and I am a bit of a profectionist..lol So it drives me crazy if I don't fix it. Now people like Al, your buddy...Ha! ask me what photo did just add when I didn't add any, just maybe edited one letter in a word thats all. I tested this by changing one word on my Fred and Ethel Dedicated album which I found as #1 in the bird section yesterday. After I made the edit to the word the album was pulled within minutes like I thought it would be. I'm courious to see if it ever returns as #1. Checked this morning it is still gone. This is well over the 1/2 hr it used to take for making edits to your album. They really have things messed up but what can we do. Take care, Laura

BEAUTIFUL album! Your flowers, and photos are so colorful and all perfect. Thank you for your kind entry in my featured album and a request for a dedication photo. Although one of the two you chose was already taken, I picked a simular photo that was not. I hope you like it as well. Hope to stay in touch, your albums look very interesting I will be back for sure. Laura

Hey Ken. That Cape Daisy is a dead ringer for our African Daisies that grow in profusion in our sandy soil. And boy I really go for that yellow begonia - lovely flower and a great shot. Nice work chum. Peter
said
georgieboy98 2005.07.03 at 23:11:25 PDT
Hi Ken, I LOVE your latest additions! Yellow and Red Mimulus, Mimulus flower petals(What a GREAT shot!), French Marigold and Cape Daisy, African Violet Chico, Japanese Cherry Blossom, and Cape Daisy are FABULOUS photos! Such clarity and wonderful composition! I can almost smell their divine fragrance from here! I am sorry that my Tasty Textures album has made you gain weight! Haha! Have a great day! Hugs to you, Candi

Hi Ken, thx a lot for your comments in my Mootown album. But my fav cattle is the highland cattle, if I could find some over here, I would add them to this album. This album of yours are beautiful flowers and I can clearly see why it is your favourite flowers. I love your pic Ice Tulip, so well done, #11 the cala lilies white against the dark green, #41 the lavender daisies and #42 the pink japanese blossoms. Very well done and keep up the good work. Have a great day, Yan/Ottawa

Dear Ken & Carolynn:) - thank you for your nice comments addressed to my tulips - I simply like to gather and notice the Beauty around me...and your Rhapsody of the flowers I met here is simply amazing and very inspiring. It's a real pleasure for an eye to walk together with you in your garden! Many warm thoughts and friendly greetings from Tami:) PS. Thank you for explanation of the bike!:)

Hello Ken, thank you for your nice guestbook entry! I appreciated it very much ! As I came back from my holidays and I saw my pictures I was very disappointed because many pictures were not enough sharp (I have taken this fotos without a tripod). But I think I have learned from this mistake. It's a very pleasure looking at your album! Very beautiful flowers, are they from your garden? I will start with an English course in August! I hope that my English becomes better...Many greetings Daniela

Hi Ken!! Great album and I love the Ice Tulip and understand your passion for this beautiful species of a flower. Can't believe you found those gorgeous mauve Carnations at the 'tip' (meaning rubbish tip???)..Yeah/No..lol!! My fav maybe because of the fact that I don't recall ever seeing it before..is the 'Broadbean Flower'!!...Now that is just something beautiful...and breathtakingly different. There are soo many wonderful shots in here...and I totally enjoyed your favs mate. Tks heaps also for signing in my featured albumthe other day, as I do soo appreciate the kindness of all...and I see you have my olde mate Georgieboy as a fav!!...He is such a nice man!! Great album and lovely to see that there are many men out there with a huge passion for the beauty and essence of the flowers of the world. Tks heaps for sharing and have a really great day....Kind regards...Em from Aussie

emphotos103 2005.06.10 at 16:56:40 PDT
Very lovely flowers Ken and the photos of course are splendid, no wonder that they are your favorites. Thanks for visiting my "One is still one" and yes I took those shots at midnight in my garden, by morning the flowers close completely. I remember that night as a magic one, took like 40 shots of several blossoms which opened that night..was really exciting. The flowers in the night are almost unbelievable, pure enchantment. This is one of my favorite album...and a special thanks for noticing and liking it. Hugs, kathy

Hi Ken Well...right after reading your note today of course I had to run right over here & view this delicious album! It's a real pleasure to see a man who's a flower lover(ha) I love your little mimulus.Over here we call that a Monkey Flower!! Also that peachy rose is gorgeous.I wonder what it's name is? I have so many of these flowers in my own yard.How can I ever choose a favorite....well..I am partial to the ROSE though for sure. That was neat about your daughter living so close.Lacey's even CLOSER!!! I could just yell out the window at her(ha) I guess it's really a small world after all isn't it? Did I ever tell you that I spent time in England? I was there one summer years ago.Most of the time I was with close friends of mine who stil live there.I was in Devon & Lee & Blackheath (London) I fell in love with Torquay! What a dream area. Well.gotta start my day as it will be a busy one. Have a great English Day Ken.. See Ya..Kathryn PS : What an honor for you to dedicate a rose to me!!!!!!!!!(mean it)

Hi Ken, I have just looked through this wonderful collection of flowers we often forget the flowers on veggies can be beautiful too so glad you included the beans. We have been away for a week in the Lake District so thats why I've been quiet Give me a few days to sort the photos and there will be plenty to look at if you like mountains and blue skies :o) Take care now, Jill

Hello Ken, I love your latest additions to this album! I love it when you add photos! Thanks for your guestbook entries and I am glad you got the site for the Mackinac Bridge to work now. You have me wondering about what you said about the rose album that you are compiling but I will be patient and wait for it. I hope you have a good time on your trip and I look forward to hearing from you when you return. Take care and may God bless you and Carolyn! Candi

Hi Ken: back from vacations, we have discovered your newest album - and as flower lovers, we were particularly sensitive to this extraordinary variety of beautiful flowers/pictures! Our best compliments, and thank you for this kind of gift! Thank you also for your friendly words in two of our guestbooks!(In fact: our trails are just a very few miles from our home.)

Love the additions Ken and this is obviously an album that is going to just keep growing, I know! And only a matter of time before it gets featured. Well done old sausage and as you add more to this would you do me a favour and let me know where the new ones start? Thanks mate and a big OOOROOO. Peter
said
georgieboy98 2005.06.03 at 18:07:09 PDT
Wow, Ken! What a beautiful collection of flowers! I absolutely LOVE Ice Tulip! What a stunning shot! All the photos are great but that one is definitely my favorite. If I were you I would put that one as the first image in your album. I wanted to thank you so much for your kind comments in my Tulip album. I took a bunch of new tulip shots today and I am working on adding them but I doubt I will be able to do that until tomorrow. I am also very honored that you added me to your favorites. Have a great day! Candi

Hi, Ken & (Carolynn)! Wonderful flower photos here! I love tulips, too! But here in Colorado I have a hard time growing anything (plus I don't have a green thumb)! Thanks for visiting my favorite photos collection, all I did was choose photos from previous Webshots albums that we all liked. Please come back to view my new Car Show album! Deb from Colorado, USA

Hi Ken, I really loved the flowers. Are they from your garden? Our ground is all clay and difficult to grow anything, do have a lot of weeds though. Chris Charlie and Jay
said
chrismary105 2005.05.21 at 11:06:42 PDT
Great photos Ken and you have captured the mood and the colours of each flower just perfectly. I think the one we liked best of all was that large Clematis - excellent shot. Thanks for your email and I'll be replying to that very soon. Peter
